The first thing I noticed when I opened the box of the Huntsman is that this is no everyday pocket knife! Measuring over 3 inches long, this sturdy yet elegant knife is loaded with tools!
We chose the Huntsman Boy Scout Swiss Army Knife as our first knife to review because of its overall ability to be put to use in everyday life. Of course, it is great to have when you're hunting, camping or doing anything in the great outdoors, but it also has a ton of practical, everyday uses as well.
But above all, we like this knife because it is made by Victorinox who, for over 100 years, has been manufacturing top-quality Swiss army knives that have a serious reputation of lasting for decades. Just holding this knife in your hand, you can tell how sturdy and well built it is.
If I had to say something negative about the knife, the only thing I can think of is that the tools are hard to get open when brand new. Be careful if you have long nails. I have been told, however, that they loosen up and become much easier to open over time as they are used.
Here is a list of the tools this knife comes with:
- * Large blade
- * Small blade
- * Can opener with small screwdriver
- * Bottle opener with large screwdriver
- * Wire stripper
- * Scissors
- * Wood saw
- * Reamer with sewing eye
- * Corkscrew
- * Hook
- * Toothpick
- * Tweezers
- * Key ring
- * Boy Scouts of America Logo!
So as you can see, we're talking about a complete knife at a very reasonable price from a reliable and recommended company. If you are trying to choose the right knife for you or your Scout, you should seriously consider the Huntsman.
